Question:

Write a balanced equation for the reaction that occurs when an aqueous solution of iron (II) chloride is mixed with an aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide.

Precipitation Reactions:

A precipitation reaction is a type of double displacement reaction wherein two solutions of soluble salts react and form an insoluble compound. The general reaction can be written as:

{eq}AB (aq) + CD (aq) \rightleftharpoons AD (aq) + BD (s){/eq}
